### Summary
Following a flashback arc that detailed the origins of Yoo Jung's complex feelings for Hong Seol, the narrative has returned to the present, cementing their status as a couple. This development shifts the manhwa's genre from a psychological thriller to a complex romantic drama, forcing Seol to reconcile her new relationship with the memory of Jung's past as a manipulative puppet master who made her life miserable. Current reader commentary focuses on the deep-seated trauma from this history, highlighting a moment where Seol has a visceral, physical reaction of vomiting when looking at Jung. This fuels audience skepticism about Jung's repentance, with readers questioning whether his regret stems from genuine guilt or simply a fear of losing Seol now that he has fallen for her. As the story explores their fragile new bond, which is further complicated by the volatile Inho Baek, there is a strong call from the audience for Jung's character development. This narrative evolution is also mirrored by a noticeable change in the art style over the series' long run, particularly in Jung's character design.
